Re:How we made claude.ai 3x faster in two weeks on Thursday September 24, 2026 @12:45AM (#49826356)
Interesting read. Could this be why recently support for Safari 26 has been going downhill? Especially Claude Artefacts where it either doesn't work, or says my browser isn't supported.
I read an article, and within seconds my personal data was shared with 229 “partners”.

Reads like your typical opus.

Re:About the security content of macOS Tahoe 26.6 on Tuesday July 28, 2026 @09:19AM (#49083413)
The question now is, is 27 sufficient enough of an improvement over 15 to upgrade and tolerate Liquid Glass?

How hard can it be to be to correctly annotate the table? DeepSWE doesn’t have a highlight either; Fable slightly better than Opus (69.7% vs 68.8%).

Yeah same here, very annoying and counterproductive. The terminal is not a place where one expects hot buttons.

Or another bug seen in the wild: the image rotates opposite to the button’s icon label.

Re:Siri AI on Monday June 08, 2026 @04:10PM (#48451150)
Yep. I get anxious when Safari starts to offer a new password for an existing account. Having access to previous passwords would be such great UX, but no, no such thing.
Re:Why German trains are never on time anymore on Saturday May 30, 2026 @01:01PM (#48338405)
Lack of funding, postponement of maintenance, degraded infrastructure. And now too much bureaucracy to get it fixed.

Yeah big surprise that the populist government didn’t achieve anything and rolled back green initiatives. Good thing that they fell, sad that it took so long.

Re:Death to Scroll Fade on Thursday March 19, 2026 @04:44AM (#47436528)
This! And to make matters worse is the header is removed from the document flow, causing the content to jump up when scrolling down. And if you then scroll up to try to read the content that jumped out of the viewport, the stupid header is injected back into the flow causing the content to jump down again. Sigh.
It never really worked well in Rider, but I really wanted to use it more. Such a great tool to do some (remote) pair programming and perform a shared debugging session.
I've read through the agent investigation of Codex on macOS. It looks like the default sandbox is pretty limited, however it doesn't match my experience:

- I asked the agent to change my global git username, Codex asked my permission to execute `git config --global user.name "Botje"` and after I granted permission, it was able to change this global configuration.

- I asked it to list my home directory and it was able to (this time without Codex asking for permission).

Re:Block the "Upgrade to Tahoe" Alerts on Sunday March 01, 2026 @04:02AM (#47204997)
I'm curious about what updates will get pushed through that channel. Is it just RTM updates, or will it also include beta updates? It's currently offering 15.7.5 through that channel.

Same with macOS. I'm sticking with Sequoia, but don't know what to do if macOS 27 turns out to be just as ugly as Tahoe.
Same. I have both NL + EN configured languages on my keyboard and I couldn't reproduce it with either NL/EN and EN/NL. In the video you can see they have 4 keyboards configured. It would be helpful to know which keyboard they are using.
AnsaldoBreda did also manufacture the Fyra trains for the short-lived high-speed trains here in The Netherlands. After three trains lost parts in the first month, it was banned from operations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fyra
Re:.NET 10 on Wednesday November 12, 2025 @05:18PM (#45907634)
See the docs[1] where it mentions that 10 is supported, but not available in the built-in Ubuntu feed. It however is/should become available in the backports feed.

To make matters even more interesting the GitHub / Azure DevOps CI agent image Ubuntu 24.04 doesn't provide .NET 9, whereas 22.04 does[2]. .NET 10 appears to become available in both though[3].

~No it sadly doesn’t, so the double meaning will be lost in translation. If the lock depicted a pussy it would’ve worked though.~

After going over https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seksuele_volkstaal_en_eufemism... it seems that “bever” is apparently also used as euphemism. As is “floppy drive” TIL!

The Dutch translation is NSFW though as it translates “beaver” as suggested.
Re:The Mac App Flea Market on Monday September 15, 2025 @04:23PM (#45254485)
Why is it that only App Store apps are sandboxed? I would like to sandbox most of the apps I’m running. No app needs a blanket slate to access my files. Sure there’s some of the permissions, but they aren’t granular enough.

It is even worse; they are offering a commercial product under the same name of the open source project it is based on: https://github.com/kevinhermawan/Ollamac?tab=readme-ov-file#... and https://github.com/gregorym/ollamac-pro/issues/1.
